The Negotiations.

We cannot but be surprised to see how
persistently some of our State contcm-
porsries repeat the declaration that the
commissioners TO be appointed to meet
committee OF the foreign bondhold-
ers ought not to be members OF either
house of the Legislature. The decla-
ration is evidently based upon the as
sumption that the outsiders alluded to
would agree to more liberal terms to the
creditors than members of the Legisla-
ture would lie willing TO concede. Now,
this is the very reason why the former
should not be appointed. Not that we
would not allow the commission any
latitude, but because it would be labor
lost for. the commission to agree upon
terms Of settlement which would not
command the approval Of the General
Assembly. To devolve Legislative
duty upon outsiders would be like
hitchipg horses at the end Of the wagon
tongue instead of to the double-tree.
IL would be to increase unnecessarily
the friction. 1t would be to gear up
pulleys outside OF tho machine-shop,
and run them with no possible useful
purpose. 1t would be to prolong need
lessly the extra session of the Legisla-
ture. The commissioners are to be the
eyes and ears Of the General Assembly.
This Office can be performed only by
members of that body. Why talk
through q telephone when you can talk
face to face with your creditors?
Let us cease oil complaining and CEN
sure. What is written is written. Let
us hope for the best. We would de-
plore failure of the negotiations But
if there is to be failure let it be due to
the peoples own servants and not to
outsiders who are in no way accounta-
bic to the people. We mean, of course,
ii the failure should be the fault of the
Virginia commissioners and not of the
creditors committee. In the latter
event, neither our Legislators nor out
siders acting for our Legislators would
be or could be called to account.

to hog-cbOlera. Having suffered dread
fully, owing to this terrible disease
among my hogs, l sought ont simple
remedy which has acted like charm
for me, and l send it herein, hoping
some OF my brother farmers may be
benefited thereby. To one pint of
kerosene oil put half-pint of spirits of
turpentine and two ounces Of gum
camphor. Shake this up together
until the camphor is dissolved
Then pour the mixture over your
shattered corn, stirring it up SO that
some will get on al of it, then throw
out to the hogs. found my hogs
would eat this in preference to corn
without it, and 1 have never had sim

remedy. i had several sick hogs with
cholera when commenced giving them
the above, and all but one recovered in
less than week. / had very fine
SOW sick at the time and had given her

morning / gave my son ball of this
dough and told him to take one Of

left her the evening before, and il she
was alive to put it down her throat. He
soon came back and said (: Spa, il you
want me to catch that old SOW I'll want
more help than you gave me, for she's

she came up in q trot and commenced

"The Greek Slave y

PowERs's "Greek Slave" (the original
marble), for which the late A. L. Stew
ART paid SIS, 200, was put up at the
STEWART sale a few days ago with
limit OF $4,000, and was not sold. No
one at the sale. we are told, valued it
$1,000 worth. The Philadelphia Fee
ming Telegraph, in commenting on this
fact, says that when the "Greek
Slave" was first exhibited POWERS
was not only hailed as the peer of
some Of the greatest sculptors that ever
lived, but as the first of a school OF
American sculptors whose performances
thrust those of the Old World into the
shade, and demonstrated the gigantic
artistic capacities Of the great Yankee
nation"
Our contemporary then adds:
"To be very plain about it, Hiram
Powers's Greek Slave while not lack
ing in a certain prettiness, is feeble
and uninteresting work. AS the work
of q self-taught sculptor, who did
not even learn the rudiments of his
art or come under the influence OF the
great works of antiquity until after he
had reached mature years. it is not with
out certain interest and value. But
il is not the masterpiece which the
ignorant enthusiasts of forty years ago
declared it to be, and the fact that it
should have been so declared forty years
ago seems to indicate the enormous ad-
vances in artistic culture that have been
made on both sides of the Atlantic since
il was sculptu.e
The Telegraph is not alone in as
signing the position it does to the
"Greek Slave" 1t is also correct in
what it says regarding the advances
that have been made in artistic culture.
But these advances commenced, as far
a. the American public and American
critics are concerned, very soon after
the "Greek Slave" made her dS6ut,
and were due in large measure to Vir-
ginian. That yirginian was BARBRR,
whose "Coquette started and whose
"Fisher Girl" completed the enamel
patton Of the public from blind "Greek
Slave worship. Any one who will take
the trouble to compare the newspaper
notices OF the yirginian's works with
those that greeted the "Greek Slave
will be convinced OF this fact. The diff
ference is in great measure that be-
tween intelligent and discriminating
criticism and fulsom eulogy, and when
comparisons are instituted as between
The twosculptors, especially in the matter
Of boldnefs Of treatment and originality,
they are unfayorable TO Powers. We
soy this not that we would take from
PowEss q single leaf of his well-earned
laureis, but in vindication OF the mem
DRY Of a man who did more than any
other in his day to give a genuine i'm
pss'se 10 American ideal sculpture.

THE WEST VIRGINIA SENATOR.
Senator Fl. G. DAVIS has written let
ter to the Wheeling Register, in which
he stands up manfully for Mr.. CAMDEN,
and argues that it is the duty OF the
West Virginia Legislature to elect a
senator at the special session soon to
commence. He maintains that due
regard for the welfare of the party or
ganization demands that Mr. CAMDEN,
the choice Of three fourths of the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature, shall
be returned to the United States Senate.
After saying that the Legislature ought
to elect at the called session, he adds:
"If not, l feel confident from all
published precedents, and from the
best information L can get From emf
nent men well posted in such matters,
that the State will be represented by
but one senator until the regular meet
ing of the Legislature in 1889"
The United States Senate has again
and again decided that where legis-
lature competent to elect had been in
session at time when there was va
cancy in the United States Senate, and
failed to elect senator, the Governor
could not appoint a senator to fill the
vacancy. So that Mr.. LUcAss claim
to a seat in the United States Senate
will expire on the Goth instant, the day
the West Virginia Legislature meets in
called session, and Will not be revived
by the failure of that body to elect
senator. In the case of BELL, to which
we referred recently as one that had
been decided on the ground that the
Governor of New Hampshire had u
right to fill any vacancy which might
"happen to be-" the United States
Senate, SIS We have since learned, merely
decided that the Governor had the
right to appoint because Legislature
competent TO elect had not been in ses-
sion after the vacancy happened and
before Mr.. BELLS appointment.
